Have a Political Bumper Sticker? The FBI Might Be Snapping Photos of You (muckrock.com)
v3rgEz writes: Tomorrow marks the 35th anniversary of Food Not Bombs, the peace organization that seeks to democratically divert military spending into free food for the needy. But as documents recently obtained by MuckRock show, even such tepid support as a bumper sticker for the outspoken anti-violence organization could land you in FBI files. Read on for yet another example of how the FBI puts war protesters, Juggalos, and animal rights activists in the same category as organized crime and terrorist groups.
That's because the only time anyone will notice the bumper sticker on your front bumper is when you're about to mow them down.

The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
I've found, purely by instinct, a way to deal with passive-aggressive Vegans. I threw a party several years ago, and had no idea that the date of a guy I had known from a previous job, was a hard-core vegan. Things had already gone wrong (kitchen set off the smoke alarm, and a neighbor's dog had gotten into the yard. . .), when she loudly complained that there were no Vegan Entrees.
I opened the back door, pointed to the lawn, and told her to graze to her heart's content. . .
When she stomped out, I got a small ovation from the other attendees. . . (grin)
